However, there are some differences between the different qualities of travertine. Here are a few points to keep in mind when choosing which is best for you.

Budget

Our Budget travertine is100% authentic travertine. If you want travertine but are on a budget or want the more rustic character of travertine, this is a great product for you. Budget travertine may have ‘holes’ all the way though the tile whilst still maintaining the stunning look of travertine. At TFO, our budget travertine runs out of stock fast as it’s a popular choice for many.

Flow Mix

Having the beauty of travertine but a little more refined than budget travertine is our Flow mix travertine. Being 100% real travertine, this is a mid-range travertine. It balances between looks and price. Some 'holes' are visible which enhance the rustic feel of the travertine but they are not as frequent as in the Budget range.

Premium

Top of the range Premium travertine is as the name suggests, a high quality travertine. They are sourced from some of Turkey's most reputable quarries that are known for producing fine quality travertine tiles and pavers. While each piece is beautifully unique, the quality is more consistent than in the other two ranges. TFO's premium travertine tiles are sold at a fraction of the prices for similar or the same type of travertine elsewhere.
